I am going to try to paste an Excel worksheet for the first time to increase aesthetics. I may need some assistance.

Hey furqan why don't you put all your WEIR ratings in one thread with an explanation on the first what it is. I don't think it is necessary to open a thread after every single series. Majority of us don't know what WEIR is..... you are a smart guy, no doubt about that and I am sure WEIR is some great system you came up with but seriously dude... wtf is it? how is it bettter than all the other ratings that we currently have??

anyways, it is only interesting to see some sort of progress from our players (if this is what WEIR is trying to measure), please consider putting everythin in one thread - it will be easier to follow....

roger...and thanks. sorry for the confusion. since no one said anything till now, i assumed all was mud clear :)

[crikfreak]
